    Caution: Meet here but don't park here unless you have a watercraft trailer.
    Amber H.

    My experience, some logistics, and a warning (about parking). Experience: This was my 1st time jet skiing and overall I had a blast! It was not my friend's 1st time but she had an awesome time as well. I had initially reached out on Yelp to ask some questions and Bryan was easy to communicate with and quick in response. After meeting up, Bryan was very thorough in his instructions and it was all easy to follow. He answered my questions (about worst case scenarios: jet ski flipping over, how to get back on if you fall in the water, etc) before I even needed to ask them! The jet skis we were on could reach a bit over 40 mph, but I found that my happy speed after getting used to it was around 25 mph, 30 for more thrill, and I came close to 40 a few times by accident but it was still fun! Getting my balance and steering took a little getting used to, maintaining and decreasing speed were my problems. Not hard at all to learn, just needed getting used to! Logistics: We met at South Shore Launch Ramp. The jet skis were brought in by trailer, they're not already there at a dock. Bryan went over safety, rules, and how to operate the jet skis. My friend and I got our life jackets, then got on the skis, and off we went! Took us about 7-10 min to get through the 5mph zone one-way, so keep that in mind. Warning: So, the only con of the whole experience is that I ended up getting a parking citation. You meet up at South Shore Launch Ramp but you're not actually allowed to park there unless you have a watercraft trailer. I read what it said on the sign, but misunderstood it. So we paid the daily rate of $12 only to end up with a $69 citation on top of it... and still not knowing where we CAN park. Residence Inn next door only allows hotel guests in their parking lot. There's a Hotel Maya further down and the Queen Mary at the end, but I have no idea if you can park there or not. We even asked the officer who cited us where we're allowed to park then, the officer got defensive at first saying she was just doing her job until my friend calmed her down and said that we just wanted to know where we're allowed to park. The officer didn't know either. So! If anyone figures out the parking situation, please inform the rest of us. Otherwise, it seems like the only solution is to be a hotel guest or be prepared to pay a citation fee... Other than the damper at the end with the citation, our overall experience was smooth and we had a blast! I even saw a sea lion pop it's face out briefly! No one fell in or got injured, but I'll definitely be sore from using muscles I didn't think I'd be using haha.

    This was my first time jet skiing for my birthday. I was really nervous, but the owner was very patient, made me feel comfortable, and gave excellent customer service. I highly recommend booking with him. Thank you soo much for the experience!

    This was a memorable experience, the booking process was very easy, and customer service was amazing. They explained to us how to operate and worst case scenarios. This is not my first time jet skiing, I was worried it might be too heavy for me to maneuver, but it was super light and easy to ride. Overall it was a great experience

    PPF Jet Skis helped to make my first time in Long Beach, CA a memorable one! I had a lot of fun and I'll definitely rent from them again whenever I'm visiting this area. Thanks again!

    My family and I were very pleased with the experience and the service that was provided. Bryan was very nice and helpful, I would definitely recommend booking with him !

    Bryan is the type of person we need more of in this world. Very humble and respectful as well as educational and knowledgeable. Bryan and his wife were very helpful and professional with our first time jet ski experience and I couldn't have asked for better. Booking was simple easy and fast and his wife even rode around with us for a while to make sure we were good and acquainted with the jet skis and the handling of them before we took off into the harbor. Highly recommended. If anyone is in Long Beach area and in need of a jet ski rental, please book with them, you will not regret it.

    I've never been jet skiing before so I didn't know what to expect. I was greeted by Katherine and…read moreshe was ultra helpful, explained the rules in a way a beginner can understand, and answered all of my questions. The jet skiing experience itself was great. Good views of the Queen Mary, saw some seals and birds. I highly recommend this place. Will come back!

    My best friend and I reserved some wave runners from this location. I usually wave run at other…read morelocations but thought this would be a good location with great views. The weather was great and it was not crowded on the water. We arrived on time for the instructions. The check-in area is just a wooden desk with no signage. The woman giving instructions and tips had no personality. She was very dry and I am not even sure she smiled once. She never said thanks for coming out, enjoy the time, etc. Nothing about her said that she nor the company was appreciative of our business. Even her tone sounded like she didn't want to be there that day. She asked for our driver's license and credit card, and told us to proceed down to the dock. I read some previous reviews and I am not sure is she is the same person other people have commented about. But the consistent theme is that she didn't seem happy and it comes across when speaking with customers. Maybe she was not feeling well or having a bad day. I don't know. Sometimes people are just having a day. We then proceeded down the ramp to the area where a few guys helped us obtain life jackets, board the crafts, and understand how to operate them. These guys (either 2 or 3 of them) were pretty awesome. They had great attitudes, seemed to like the job, and made us feel welcome. Before the Queen Mary, the runners are throttled to not go above 5 MPH, in the wake zone. After we passed the QM and a cruise ship, we opened it up and got some speed. The water was pretty smooth and the breeze felt great. The weather was mid-70s and the views were great, especially getting close to the island and tankers. After we returned from our time on the water and excited the craft, we proceeded up the ramp to the wooden table to retrieve our DL and CC. No one was there so we called the main number. One of the guys said the young lady that we received the instructions from would be back. After she returned, we asked her about our items and she said, "They're in a bench on the dock." Did she go get them for us? Of course not. We returned to the dock to find out our driver's licenses and credit cards were in an unlocked bench on the dock. Anyone could have stolen them and we would not have known until we returned. That is totally unacceptable. They should be held in a secure location. Overall, it was a pretty ok experience. They guys made it a better experience. The best part was enjoying the day with my best friend. I am always open to visiting again and updating my review based on that experience. PROS: * Some employees are a good representative of the company and are the reason I would come back, and why I am giving the business a 3-star rating rather than a 2. If my review was based on just the wave runner and the experience with the guys at the dock, it would be a 4-star rating. * Nice size wave runners. Good weight. * Beautiful views. * Good price. * Easy to make a reservation and complete the waiver online. * Nice opp to have lunch at the Maya Hotel afterward. CONS: * Parking is at the Maya. Not a deal breaker though. There's plenty of parking. It was $14 for the first hour and $5 every 20 minutes after. * No signage at the desk where people get instructions. * Employee low interest in our business (not all employees). * Driver's licenses and credit cards are not kept in a secure area that is not easily accessible.

    If you're on the fence about booking Jet Ski 2 Catalina, do it. This was truly a bucket-list…read moreexperience, and our guides, Drew, Zack, and Phil made it unforgettable. They were professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. They took an incredible adventure and made it even better. Before our trip, I spent a lot of time reading reviews trying to figure out what was actually worth bringing. Here's what I found compared to my own experience: The most commonly recommended items were sunscreen, gloves, water shoes, and goggles. I completely agree. We brought all of them just in case and ended up using everything except the goggles. I wear contacts and expected the ocean spray to be an issue, but it never bothered me. That said, I'd still recommend bringing goggles, you may appreciate having them depending on the conditions. I also saw quite a few reviews mentioning the smell of the wetsuits. Honestly, ours weren't bad at all. We wore them on the ride over to Catalina, and on the return trip they weren't required. If you do wear one, I'd recommend leaving the top half down around your waist when you're not in the water. It gives you a little extra padding on the seat while still keeping you comfortable. The ride to Catalina was smooth, and we were able to really open the skis up and enjoy the speed. The ride back was a little choppier, making it more technical to navigate, but it was still an absolute blast. The jet skis are also surprisingly practical. There are two storage compartments: one large enough to hold two or three full-size backpacks, and a second waterproof compartment that's perfect for your phone, chapstick, wallet, or other small essentials while keeping everything easily accessible. We made three scenic stops on the way to Catalina, which gave everyone a chance to rest, take photos, and enjoy the views. The highlight of the trip, though, was the wildlife. We rode alongside a massive pod of dolphins, and it was one of the most breathtaking experiences I've ever had. Being out in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by dolphins in their natural habitat, is something I'll never forget. We also saw seals, which made the experience even more special. I can't recommend this adventure enough. It's more than just a jet ski ride, it's a true ocean adventure and an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life. If you're considering it, book it. You won't regret it.

    Let me set the stage - I love a good thrill - I've bungee jumped, white water rafted, gone scuba…read morediving...I love adventure. That said, this trip was both exhilarating and disappointing at the same time. Similarly to what I've read elsewhere, some small adjustments (like a one way jetski trip to Avalon and come back on the cruiser) may have made this a 4 star experience. My husband surprised me with this for my birthday. I'd looked into it previously and had been interested in doing it but the pricetag is substantial so I hadn't taken the leap. As such, I did not have much time to prepare for this in advance. NOTE TO MEN: DO NOT SURPRISE YOUR PARTNER WITHOUT ANY HEADS UP - NOBODY WANTS THAT UNLESS YOU HAVE THOUGHT OF AND PLANNED FOR EVERY NEED & CONCERN THAT MIGHT ARISE (you probably can't - give your boo some advance notice). This operation is super low direction and guidance. The most important things I heard were: stay between 30-35mph to glide best on water and that this would be an adventure. And an adventure it was... Arrival and check in were easy enough (I cant speak to registration and information sharing before arrival). We were given wetsuits and lifejackets and then we were all loaded up on jetskis (which is when those two nuggets of wisdom were provided). The direction from there is minimal and you really have a lot of slack to get out there and have a blast. That said, holy mother was that intense! The way there wasn't so bad. I flew off the jetski once and one of the two guys with us helped me back to my jetski. He (Zack) was definitely the more communicative of the two (the other was Jet) but it definitely felt like they were there to check off some boxes (get us there and back, take some pics, etc). I was tired and had blisters on my hands by the time we were heading back, the water was choppy - more choppy then I expected. I was so scared. It's intense and I was terrified of being flung back into the (busier) ocean. I wish that there had been some dialogue, some acknowledgment of the challenges of the journey, maybe some tips to get through it the best possible. There wasn't any of that and I spent the whole way back praying I make it home safely. That, coupled with the fact that the harbor and surrounding ocean in Long Beach is so disgustingly dirty, will make this a one and done kinda deal. The blisters on my hands were several skin layers deep and the bruising (pictured) tell the story of just how intense this really was.

    I Love this JetSki Fishing! Not only did I get to go jet skiing (these skis are very new - and…read morefast), but I also got to kick back with my friends and fish. Two very different adventures in one! The staff was great. I caught three fish - which is impressive because I am not a fisherman - our guide was very knowledgeable and helped make it happen. It is a unique and exciting way to spend the afternoon and bond with friends and family.

    Jetski Fishing the Pacific Ocean...heaven indeed! Definitely booking another trip soon!…read more The booking process was a breeze and the marina was conveniently accessible from the parking lot at the Hotel Maya. We were quickly checked in (make sure you arrive early), suited with our gear, and briefed on the plan for the day. Renting gear from Jetski Fishing was perfect because we didn't have to haul extra stuff to/from the parking lot. Our guide was very knowledgeable about fishing locations and provided great guidance throughout the trip. We hooked some keeper sand bass within the first hour. After 15 minutes or so of inactivity, our guide had us start up the jetskis and we rode at 40 - 50 mph to our next location (you don't have to go that fast, but when in Rome...). Our group fished around a couple of spots at the second location, but the catches had to be released due to species restrictions. We then bolted to our last fishing location where I hooked on to a thresher that snapped my line. And just like that - our trip went way too fast! Some recommendations: - Read the info email from Jetski Fishing after you confirm your trip (everything you need to know is in it) - Bring sunglasses (because the future's bright), sunblock, snacks, and drinks - Bring a fully charged phone, connect to the Bluetooth speakers, and play some tunes (fellow AT&T users: I was at one service bar most of the trip, so I wasn't able to stream itunes or Pandora) - There is plenty of storage space for a backpack, jacket, and small soft cooler - Take advantage of the 'filet your catch' option - Don't forget your GoPro (the views and marine life are incredible) Catch some 'Fresh Ones' and tip your guide!
